About

David Evans is a Professor of Statistical Genetics at the University of Queensland, Australia. His research primarily focuses on the genetic factors influencing birth weight and cardiometabolic diseases, as well as gene expression in clinical settings, particularly related to septic shock. He has extensively investigated the genetic effects on health outcomes, including cognitive traits and physical activity-related biomarkers.
